Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Where else can people find out about celebrity museums, where Hitler's nephew lived in New York, or how to do an authentic rain dance? In Uncle John's Slightly Irregular Bathroom Reader, of course! Aimed at the legions of literate bathroom lingerers, this toilet tome is filled with pop culture, forgotten history, strange lawsuits, weird news, and unknown origins of all sorts of things from voodoo to anime. Savvy, edifying, intriguing, and irregular trivia — bathroom brains are now occupied. From reality TV shows that almost were (contestants run a cross-country relay race, only they don't hand off a baton — they hand off a monkey!) to kung fu stories (European explorer Ferdinand Magellan died from a head wound after arrogantly drawing his sword on a Filipino man carrying a stick — who happened to be a Kung Fu master!), Uncle John's corners the market on entertainment that's fun and educational for that downtime that would otherwise be wasted.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a wonderful book, October 19, 2005
When I opened the package I was surprised that this book was so big. I was expecting something a lot smaller. Then when I started reading I was surprised that it held my attention as long as it did. Some of the items take up a page or two, and some only take up a paragraph or two. They say my mind jumps around a lot and that is what this book does, it jumps around a lot and for me it is interesting reading and it holds my attention when few books are able to do that. At the price these books are selling for used right now you can't go wrong on this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Bathroom Reader, November 3, 2006
By Heather (Northglenn, CO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have bought my boyfriend a few of these books...the first as house-warming gift. I thought between him and his room mate that they would love it. But by far, this is his favorite. If you love these books, this one is a must.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent Bathroon Reader, January 9, 2007
By Richard Kelly (California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is an excellent source for trivia buffs and helpful tips for everyday life. My wife complains that I spend way too much time in the bathroom, which is true because I can't put the book down.
